Then you owe 25% depreciation recapture tax on depreciation you took on both properties combined. 

The problem is you're combining a valid investing metric (loan pay down) with a bad investment (paying market value, limited appreciation prospects) and a cash-flow need (quitting the w-2).First, we never pay retail.
